When it comes time to seed the CFP bowls, I almost would be willing to bet that some pundit on ESPN will say something like "why is (insert non-P5 team) in the Peach Bowl? They don't deserve to be there. They're not in a Power Conference."

I think so. Teams didn't talk about their schedule being stronger because they played Indiana instead of Bowling Green.

Come back with this in about four weeks.

The problem for the ACC here is if Clemson wins, they would have to lose 2 of their last 7 conference games for FSU to win the division.

Also, I would say that when conferences schedule these top games at the start of the season, you're going to get this kind of analysis.

I agree, and yet this is despite the fact that formally, the CFP offers more money and opportunity for G5 than did the BCS or anything before it.
